“The Beauty of Your Face tells a uniquely American
story in powerful, evocative prose. Afaf Rahman, the
daughter of Palestinian immigrants, is the principal of a
Muslim school in the Chicago suburbs. One morning, a
shooter―radicalized by the online alt-right―attacks
the school. As Afaf listens to his terrifying progress, we
are swept back through her memories, and into a
profound and “moving” (Bustle) exploration of one
woman’s life in a nation at odds with its ideals.”
